Personal protective nose mask

ABSTRACT

A Personal Protective Equipment that fits in the Nose of living species, especially human beings, this nose mask is designed for ease of use, comfort to the user, and most of all to filter harmful viruses, bacteria, other filterable microbes, dust particles, and prevent them from entering into their nostrils, thereby protecting the user and preventing them from contracting diseases such as but not limited to COVID-19 (largely known as the novel corona virus during the years 2019 to 2021 pandemic time period), while they are at work, outside, and/or indoors, to ensure that they lead a healthy life. Additionally this Personal Protective Nose Mask can be used for betterment of health by patients, under a Physician&#39;s care/treatment who are prescribed inhalable medicines.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Various types of PPE* Masks are known in the prior art whose purpose isto protect the mask wearing user from airborne viruses and bacteria,wholly from harmful microbes. Whereas the masks are usuallyuncomfortable to wear, and if they are comfortable, they don't fullyprotect the user from microbes, due to the fact that human face is acomplex structure and so designing an enclosure covering the Nose andmouth in full and at the same time permitting the person to breathefreely and naturally is difficult. i.e. the person has to breathe theair that gets filtered by a regular PPE Mask; thereby a noticeably slowintake of air into their nostrils because, only so much filtered air canthrough the fabric, thereby undeniably a discomfort to the regular PPEMask user. During the year 2019 to 2020 a deadly pandemic hit the Worldand loomed all across the Earth which was/is being caused by COVID-19(largely known as novel corona virus), this discomfort (of wearing a PPEMask or any other type of mask such as N95, etc. . . . ) was/is beingexperienced by almost any person who has to go to work especiallyEmergency work professionals, mainly Physicians, Doctors, Nurses, andhealth care workers, or common people, who needs to get out of theirhome to buy regular necessities such as groceries, and return homewithout contracting the virus inside their body. It should be noted thatthe respiratory disease and subsequent diseases caused by COVID-19 isfatal, as it has claimed the life of many, regardless of their age: fromelderly to children, if early/timely remediation is not done byapproaching Hospital and if the right Physician/Doctor's care is notobtained. Early detection of COVID-19 can be done by confirming thesymptoms that are being advised by the CDC and W.H.O. To emphasis theserious nature of this disease, at the time of this writing, the numberof people who lost their lives due to the disease caused by COVID-19stands at 1.46 Million worldwide, and 268,000 lives in the U.S. alone(Source: Google's COVID-19 tracker). For the records, this statisticsabove is provided here to prove the seriousness of this COVID-19, adeadly virus, and sadly the number is growing daily, worldwide. Hence,the wearing of safety gears is of utmost importance, and strictlyfollowing the health guidelines as advised by their respective NationalGovernment's Health Departments and World Organizations such as theC.D.C (Center for Diseases Control, USA), and the W.H.O (World HealthOrganization), is very vital not only for the individual's safety, butmore importantly to help contain/prevent the mass spread of the virus,as its airborne. *PPE—Personal Protective Equipment

This personal protective nose mask, is not only useful and protects thecommon people but mainly the Doctors, Nurses, and health care workerswho deal with the patients daily, especially who have deadly andcontagious diseases such as but not limited to COVID-19. Thus is thehuge potential and great importance of nose mask, once it ismanufactured and sold in the U.S. and rest of the World. There are somenotable features which makes this present invention (Nose Mask) unique.The strength of the mask's filtering capability (i.e. filtering outharmful microbes contained in the air that is about to be inhaled, rightbefore it reaches the lungs) is the prime feature. Comfort of wearingthe present invention is the next main feature. Another key andimportant feature in terms of comfort to the person wearing the presentinvention is, it uses a disposable unique pair of objects which arefilters similar to cigarette filter tips, and can be made of the same orsimilar type of material like cellulose acetate, which are used toproduce cigarette Filter tips.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a personal protective nose mask whosepurpose is as its name implies: “a mask for the human nose”, and it canbe extended and customized for use by other living beings, such asanimals as well. This nose mask includes a light weight shell membermade of durable at the same time soft substance such as but not limitedto rubber, a mixture of rubber and HDPE/Plastic2, so that the moresofter and polished the outer edge, the more comfortable and secondnature (an instinctive habit) the wearer would like to use it regularly,thereby benefitting from nose mask's health benefits daily. The shellmember consists of two cylindrical compartments long enough (not longerthan) to fit in the nostrils of the person wearing/using it. These twocompartments are joint by a loop shaped connector made also of the samematerial/substance with the same qualities of the compartments. Filters,as briefly explained in the BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION section above,are inserted into each compartment, and they serve, as their nameimplies, purifying the air inhaled, each and every time. As can beimagined, the present invention thus configured, can be worn by the userinto their nose by grabbing its connector and inserting it into theirnose slowly. Once insertion is complete, the present invention isdesigned in such a way that it snugly fits in the person's nose. Mainly,and in an effort to ensure that the user of the nose mask gets the lookand feel as comfortable as they would while not wearing the presentinvention, the user can wear a regular mask (N95—[Not resistant to Oiland blocks at least 95% of very small [0.3 μm{micron} particles],KN95[one of the type of face masks originating from China similar toN95], or any other FDA-[United States Food and Drug Administration]recommended mask) normally (on top of the present invention), only toprevent occasional conditions where a long sneeze that could make thenose mask eject out of the nose. It should be noted that as the regularmask wraps the face especially the nose, it goes without saying thatwhile the user, through natural instinct: sneezes, they will comfortablysneeze and the nose mask stays in the nose, or even if it ejects out ofthe nose due to the force of a long sneeze, it will be contained insidethe regular face mask, as a fish would be caught in a fishing net, butotherwise the nose mask fits snugly and sits in the user's nose,filtering the incoming air draft while the user inhales, therebypreventing the intake of harmful microbes in each and every breath. Formedical reasons, as a Doctor would recommend that if the protective nosemask and/or filters eject out of the nostrils due to a long sneeze, andit's importantly advised to discard the filters and also wash theprotective nose mask shell member, before next use. i.e. the filters arefor one time use only.

The nose mask thus worn can be removed without any effort in the samemanner how the user inserted into their nose, by grabbing the extantconnector and by pulling out the nose mask gently. Once pulled out, boththe filters needs to be discarded to a closed trash can at once. Thenthe nose mask along with the lids needs to be washed/rinsed thoroughlywith some common foamy soap and water, dried with a fresh cloth towel(for conserving natural resources), or a paper towel, and stored in asmall plastic box/container compactly, when not necessary. In otherwords, in maintaining personal hygiene for the larger purpose ofcontaining the spread of viruses, especially the virus that haspotential to be as deadly as COVID-19 (progressive and certain, as canbe understood by the real statistics that has been provided in theBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION section above, at the time of this writing(the year 2020 A.D.)), extra care should be followed in removing anddiscarding the used filters safely as explained above, same as thepersonal hygiene practice of washing hands thoroughly for at least 20seconds (twenty seconds) as soon as entering home, or in other words, asthe very first duty after returning from outside, must be followed, orthe purpose of the present invention, a personal protective nose maskwill be in vain.

The quick and easy to use present invention (nose mask), its usage, andinstructions on how it needs to be worn, and removed after use, is againdiscussed further in the sections that follow.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The general purpose of this present invention described in subsequentdetail, is to provide an added protection/shield to human beings thatfilters and thereby purifies the air from harmful microbes inside thenostrils, right before the volume of air enters inside the trachea(windpipe), thereby preventing the microbes from entering inside thehuman body, thus protecting the person wearing the personal protectivenose mask (present invention).

The present invention is a unique design that adds an extra layer ofprotection for human beings, and has been designed to help thePhysicians (Doctors), Surgeons, Nurses, and Pharmacists while theyperform their daily crucial duty as a timely Savior, of attending to andtreating COVID-19 patients, importantly rescuing them from the brink ofdeath in mature cases. Thus, this nose mask has been especially designedby keeping in mind that the healthcare workers, especially some Doctorsand Nurses who lost their lives by contracting the same COVID-19 diseaseafter attending to/caring COVID-19 patients as a part of their dailyduty during the entire year 2020 (at the time of this writing). Thepresent invention is so unique and has a promising potential to become ahealthcare industry standard and could be recommended by the WorldHealth Organization (W.H.O), mainly to become a day-to-day common use inthe HealthCare Facility environment, for the aforementioned benefits.

Similar to as explained above, the present invention's benefits hasgreat potential to be and is capable of being used by people from allwalks of life—from an elderly stay-at-home senior citizen with somehealth condition such as but not limited to heart-attack or diabetes, toa healthy sportsman, who exercises by running, jogging, cardio, weightlifting, etc. . . . The key point about the present invention is, theuser of the nose mask will have a noticeably better breath comfort, i.e.a better breath in, and better breath out, which is a great feeling bywearing the present invention (nose mask), compared to simply wearingthe face mask alone.

On a very important note relating to breathing, and undeniably the humanbeings cannot live without breathing air, and any slight level ofrestriction to breathe is not normal. As almost everyone is experiencingthe daily pain of wearing a regular type of face mask (a PPE-[personalprotective equipment] mask, an N95, KN95, etc. . . . ) during thepandemic in the year 2020 (at the time of this present inventionapplication), once a person continues breathing after wearing thepresent invention, and through the personal protective nose mask(present invention), they would definitely agree the benefit and thegreat comfort the present invention gives, and that person will vouchits benefits such as but not limited to, “it is very easy to breathe”,“now I don't feel that annoying irritation of my breathe gettingblocked/restricted by the face mask while I inhale”, “My breath reallyfeels better than (yes) regular breathing, inhaling and exhaling whilewearing this nose mask”, and many more praises about the comfort levelthey will certainly feel.

Thus, as explained above, the unique features of the present inventioncan be summarized as below. The present invention, a personal protectivenose mask, when worn in the nose overlaid with a face mask preferably, acloth mask covering the face, absolutely provides a great comfort inbreathing as close to normal breathing, and in almost all cases, anadditional layer of comfort than regular breathing due to its uniquedesign(i.e. the person will feel much satisfied breathing through thenose mask, rather than without the nose mask: further explanation innext line), at the same time and more importantly filters out dust,allergens, and specifically microbes (which is the main purpose of thepresent invention). The present invention's nose mask acts as a nosevent which enlarges the human nostrils naturally, thereby noticeablyincreasing and allowing more volume of air inhaled and exhaled in eachbreath, respectively.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular FIGS. 1 through 12thereof, example of the personal protective nose mask and its parts,employing the principles and concepts of present invention and generallydesignated by the reference number 300 will be described.

Referring to FIGS. 1 through 12 , a preferred embodiment of the presentnose mask 300 is illustrated.

As described in the summary section above, the present invention nosemask 300, has been designed to protect any human being, especiallydoctors, nurses, and healthcare workers caring patients who havecontracted not only contagious diseases but mainly serious andpotentially fatal diseases such as but not limited to COVID-19 (CoronaVirus Disease-Year 2019). The benefits, features, and purposes aredescribed in detail below, and in other sections above, with furthergranular detail.

The present invention, a personal protective nose mask consists of a setof soft, flexible, non-rigid cylindrical tubes FIG. 1 thru FIGS. 12 M-T1and M-T2 that comfortably fits human nostrils, co-ordinated andconnected by a flexible connector FIG. 1 thru FIG. 12 M-C, also made ofthe same material as the tubes. The material for the present invention'sshell as explained above can be any kind of durable material thatcomforts the person wearing it, preferably hardened latex based ashistorically and to date, devices and/or appliances that needs to beworn by hospitalized people or patients under treatment are usuallylatex based as its natural, easy and comfortable. Alternately thepresent invention's nose mask shell can also be made of non-latex basedductile material so as to cater persons who are allergic tolatex/rubber. As can be imagined and understood the application of thisnose mask 300, whose purpose is to protect any healthy individual fromharmful and more importantly deadly viruses and similar microbes, eitherwhen they are outside let's say in a hospital visiting a physician fortheir regular physical appointment, or outside shopping for their dailygroceries, or even inside their home along with a family member who isknown to have contracted a contagious disease like COVID-19. The mainpurpose of this present invention (nose mask) 300 has already beenexplained in the sections above, which is to provide an added protectionto the doctors and nurses whose daily duty is to treat, and take care ofpatients affected by deadly diseases such as but not limited toCOVID-19, and most importantly cure them from the disease until they areclose to normal so they can be discharged from the health carefacility/hospital, back to their residence.

Talking about the nose mask filters FIG. 1 thru FIGS. 12 F-1 and F-2,they are chosen specifically for their capability of filtering nanoparticles, and they consist of cellulose acetate fibers which arerelatively inexpensive, similar to or same as those filters used in thetip of a typical cigarette filter. However extra care must be taken inselecting, choosing existing pre-manufactured filters for use inconjunction with the present invention (nose mask), or alternately andpreferably manufactured solely for the purpose of nose mask. There are afew reasons for designing and manufacturing brand new filters withspecific features for use in the present invention, a personalprotective nose mask.

Those reasons are listed as follows.

-   -   1) While there are ongoing research and studies about        cigarettes, specifically cigarette filters FIG. 1 thru FIGS. 12        F-1 and F-2, both independently and by the cigarette        manufacturers themselves, as early as the year 1959, common        cigarette filters, thereby cigarette smoking are known to        contribute to cause lung cancer.    -   How do cigarettes contribute to cancer?    -   It's been widely learnt from aforementioned research that >90%        of cigarettes used, come with filters, which are made of        cellulose acetate fibers. And these fibers, in, during and after        the manufacturing and packaging processes, are known to be left        with loose fiber particles (resulting from the cutting, joining,        etc. . . . ), which still are present in the cigarette tip. As        can be understood, a smoker smokes one of these cigarettes and        when he/she inhales the cigarette, in goes those micro fibers,        without the smoker knowing. That is not all. For the purpose of        further understanding, mainly as this concerns the human        population's invaluable health, thinking in science terms, these        loose fibers, if tracking a single strand of fiber, would melt        in the hot temperature of the burning cigarette, and will enter        from the cigarette into the lungs, causing harm to the body,        which eventually results in cancer. As one can imagine, the        harmful effects to human body that is caused by a defective        cigarette/filter is insurmountable. To solidify the        understanding and result, which is an outcome of almost        continual research which started around sixty years ago, some of        the research milestones are provided below (Courtesy: Cigarettes        with defective filters marketed for 40 years: what Philip Morris        never told smokers: J L Pauly, A B Mepani, J D Lesses, K M        Cummings, R J Streck)

2000 Survey documents that most all smokers (>95%) perceive thatinhalation and/or ingestion of cellulose acetate filter fibers is anadditional risk to that known to be associated with cigarette smokingand that tobacco companies have an obligation to inform smokers of thisdefect. Smokers believe that tobacco companies should advise smokers offilter defects 2000 Fibers, particles, and other filter elementsdischarged from the filter into mainstream smoke identified as the“third phase” of cigarette smoke 1998 Borowicz and colleagues reportresults of tests in which cellulose acetate filter fibers and particlesare recovered from mouth washes of all smokers and for all cigarettestested 1998 Filters of novel cigarette appearing nicotine deliverydevices are shown to be contaminated with glass fibers and particles(Premier, Eclipse and NEW Eclipse) 1998 Inhaled cellulosic and plasticfibers found in human lungs

For the full list of research outcomes, the reader may refer to theResearch Paper specified above. As the purpose of this specification isnone other than detailing the present invention: the personal protectivenose mask's specification continues below. Having said the above,definitely the filters to be used with the present invention isrecommended to be not the same type of filters used in the cigarettes,but more refined ones. i.e. filters with zero defects, as otherwiseusing of filters with any defect(s) in the nose mask will defeat thewhole purpose of the present invention itself, which has been inventedsolely to shield human beings from harmful microbes such as deadlyviruses, and to prevent them from contracting airborne deadly diseases,ensuring that the users lead a happy, healthy life.

-   -   2) The filters as shown in FIG. 1 thru FIGS. 12 F-1 and F-2 must        be 100% defect free, and equally important, must also be able to        filter viruses and other harmful microbes. As per recent studies        after the worldwide pandemic that started in the year 2019, each        SARS-CoV-2 virion is approximately 50-200 nanometers in        diameter, whereas the hydrodynamic particle diameter of        cigarette smoke captured by regular cigarette filters had been        estimated to be only around 0.44 micrometers or 440 nanometers.        Hence, filters manufactured to be used with the present        invention needs to be denser (i.e. packed with more number of        cellulose acetate fibers in the filter, approximately double the        amount or more than double the amount of fibers in the existing        cigarette filters), thereby able to filter out the COVID-19        virus from entering inside the human body. Size range of the        particular virion and the smoke particles were extracted from        research papers whose references are as follows.        -   Reference #1:            https://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/11/suppl_1/i51        -   Reference #2:            https://www.hindawicom/journals/jo/2011/819129/3)    -   3) The tube pair and filter pair as can be seen in FIG. 1        through FIG. 12 -M-T1 M-T2, and F-1 F-2 respectively, are        designed to be cylindrical such that its naturally lodges inside        the human nostrils, occupying the nostrils tightly thereby        preventing unfiltered air from entering inside the nostrils        interior. In other words, while wearing the fully configured        extant nose mask, when the person breathes, the only way air can        enter inside the nose is via the filters alone. It should be        noted that the present invention is quick and easy to use        surely, and at the same time comfortable to wear and remove,        thereby the general public too quickly getting accustomed to        using the present invention.

FIG. 1 depicts a view where the nose mask M and its components, two lidsM-L1 and M-L2 are wide open. The purpose and benefits of these slidinglids M-L1 and M-L2 are twofold, one is to hold each inserted filtertightly in place, and prevent it from falling down, and two is to be thestrong front interface through which the air is inhaled into the humanbody and vice versa. The present invention's lids FIGS. 1 M-L1 and M-L2are designed to be made of Plastic 2 also called HDPE (high-densitypolyethylene), or any other similar quality substance. Quality ofPlastic chosen, thus specified above is important to be pure so that theplastic does not leach any chemical during the inhalation of airprocess. The HDPE described in the line above is the same type ofPlastic used in food storage, and food packaging, etc. . . .

Each lid FIG. 1 through FIGS. 12 M-L1 and M-L2 are joint to the extantnose mask's tube FIG. 1 through FIGS. 12 M-T1 and M-T2 respectively, bysturdy stems FIG. 1 through FIGS. 12 M-S1 and M-S2 respectively. Thelids thus attached to the nose mask's tubes FIG. 1 through FIGS. 12 M-T1and M-T2 have revolving capability, and the present invention's each lid(FIG. 1 through FIG. 12 M-L1, M-L2) is designed to rotate in the axis ofthe stems. These lids snugly fit to the tubes in such a way that theyare not loose but finger tight (i.e. easily handled with fingers whileclosing the lids after insertion of filters FIG. 1 through FIGS. 12 M-S1and M-S2 respectively. The lids thus attached to the nose mask's tubesFIG. 1 through FIGS. 12 M-T1 and M-T2 have revolving capability, and thepresent invention's each lid (FIG. 1 through FIG. 12 M-L1, M-L2) isdesigned to rotate in the axis of the stems. These lids snugly fit tothe tubes in such a way that they are not loose but finger tight. (i.e.easily handled with fingers while closing the lids after insertion offilters FIG. 1 through FIGS. 12 F-1 and F-2, and also while opening thelids to remove the filters after each use), for ease of use, each andevery time.

The present invention's stems M-S1 and M-S2 are made of hardened plasticand can be Plastic 2/HDPE as well, similar to the material nose mask Mis made of. Overall, nose mask M should be made of a non-leaching goodquality material such as HDPE/Plastic 2. As a variation, the nose mask Mthus manufactured above could also be coated with soft rubber foradditional comfort, so the user feels natural to wear the extant nosemask (present invention).

The nose mask M thus worn can be removed without any effort in the samemanner how the user inserted into their nose, by grabbing the extantconnector M-C and by pulling out the nose mask gently.

The soft filters FIG. 1 through FIGS. 12 F-1 and F-2 as can be imagined,are one time use only (use and throw), and are meant in no way to bereused. Hence, after taking away the nose mask, the user simply followsthe steps as described in FIG. 12 through FIG. 1 , (i.e. in reverse ofthe insertion order FIG. 12 , FIG. 11 , FIG. 10 , up to FIG. 1 ),thereby pulling each filter F-1 and F-2 from its lid end (M-L1 and M-L2)removing and discarding the used filters, and next is to clean the nosemask along with the lids thoroughly using soapy water, hand soap or bodywash and drying the nose mask by using a fresh cloth towel, or papertowel, before next use.
